The film has garnered positive reviews so far, with netizens praising the lead actors for their “brilliant performances.” Critics have also lauded the film for its “engaging storyline,” “power-packed sequences,” and “unexpected ending.”
Ahead of watching the movie, many are searching for details about the film, including its budget, ratings, Allu Arjun’s fees, and trailer. Here’s a comprehensive rundown of everything you’d want to know before catching the film in theaters:
Budget
The makers of Pushpa 2: The Rule have invested a whopping Rs 400-500 crores in the film, making it one of the most expensive productions. The film’s impressive VFX and larger-than-life sequences, which have caught the audience’s attention, justify the massive budget. In a remarkable feat, the filmmakers have already recovered the budget before the film’s release. By selling the non-theatrical rights, including digital, music, and satellite rights, for approximately ₹425 crore, the makers have secured a significant revenue stream.
Allu Arjun’s Fees
Allu Arjun’s fees for the sequel of Pusha: The Rise may give you a shock, as it’s just a little less than the film’s budget. Allu reportedly charged a sum of Rs 300 crore, which is one of the highest charged amount by any Indian actor. Rashmika Mandann received Rs 10 crore for playing the role of Srivalli in the movie. Fahadh Faasil reportedly got Rs 8 crore for the film. Pushpa 2 also features a dance number by Sreeleela. As per reports, she was payed a total of Rs 2 crore for the film.
